[OpenID] Latest Development in Japan

[Snorri]

We have few statistics in France that we probably can adapt in the European
level,

14,5% of the Internet Users know the name “OpenID” (no necessary exactly
what is it)

and 4,7% (72% are bloggers) have already used one time, it’s already a lot!

This is why I am saying that your percentages are really amazing (28% = +20
million?)
.

 

I have ordered a new study on a panel of 230 French Internet Users

And I would like establish similar studies in others European countries

I hope to obtain these new results as soon a possible
 

 

In US
?

I have been sooo busy that I did not produce any report on OpenID
developments in Japan since last I have done for mixi back in August. 

There has been bunch of notable events since then. 

2008-9-12 Livedoor Blog adopted "mixi OpenID" group authentication for their
blog service. 

  It allows the blog article to be published to a limited group. They  same
is true for commenting etc. 

  Livedoor is one of the major blog provider in Japan (besides many other
things.) They are also acting as OP. 

2008-9-29 NEC released an Authentication Platform Software "NC7000-3A-OI"
that supports OpenID. 
  It is a federated identity system. It supports both SAML and OpenID. 

2008-10-02 SourceForge.JP started to support OpenID 
  Unlike sourceforge.net, it also supports XRI/i-names. 

2008-10-06 BIGLOBE started offering OpenID
  One of the biggest ISP in Japan, NEC BIGLOBE started the service as an OP.

  It uses EV-SSL, and is https only OP. 

2008-10-06 Rakuten, the biggest online merchant in Japan, started offering
OpenID based payment
  Rakuten, the biggest online merchant in Japan, started offering OpenID
based payment. 
  By using this system, you will not required to give out your credit card
number. 
  (You are still required to input security code of the credit card,
though.)

2008-10-15 Internet.com Survay: 28% Japanese Internet User are aware of
OpenID. 
  Accroding to the survay by internet.com and marsh research which was
conducted 
  over 300 internet user (50% male, 50% female, 20% each of 20s, 30s, 40s,
50s, 60s), 
  263 of them were using sites that requires authentication. Among them, 28%
of them 
  knew about OpenID, and 15% were using OpenID. 
  This is a big increase compared to a similar survay back in February where

  only 12% knew about OpenID and only 1.2% of them were using it.
